The politics is big, of course, but I think they've condensed everything they don't like or afraid of from "others" into the gun issue. Every issue they've fought for decades comes down to "can't take my guns away." They've drawn their line in the pile of bullshit they stand behind.
Applying their logic, you could say almost every law on the books is worthless. Why have laws against murder when people still get murdered every day? If guns were looked at as tools (which is what they claim), they would be considered dangerous tools and their use regulated in a way to help improve safety.
People claim to want to "pertek ma fambly" which is fine idea, but the vast majority don't face any real threat, and don't do the things that would be necessary if they did. The run of the mill burgles can be prevented with security measures; if they're really out to get you personally, a gun in the closet or anywhere other than constantly in your hand isn't going to help when they come busting through the door.
It's bad out there.
Florida sheriff goes on a wild rant against gun laws while announcing arrests in shootings that killed 3 teenagers
The article doesn't convey the extreme nastiness and stupidity. Here's the full
press conference. I'm sure there are shorter clips of the worst bits floating around online.
Ironically, Sheriff Billy Woods is a perfect example of the irresponsibility he's talking about, no surprise for an official elected by the very White RepuQs of
Marion County (Ocala), Florida.
Billy is a slow, lying whiner. We know for a FACT that comparable nations and states on average with stricter gun laws have lower overall murder rates. However, ammosexual Billy desperately deflects from that by screeching about social problems that he has no Rx for.
For example Billy shrieks that no gun laws would make a difference in the same breath that he says the killers' guns were stolen from cars. Maybe we should start holding gunhuggers accountable for the crimes committed as a result of their sloppy gun storage, but Billy is too dim or dishonest to mention that obvious intervention.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world are criminals or potential criminals. The American exception is that we choose to heavily arm them.
